We’re so proud to once again host a river cleanup in collaboration with Yamaha Rightwaters and in preparation for the 2026 Bassmaster Classic in Knoxville, Tenn. We hosted a similar cleanup with pro angler and Keep the Tennessee River Beautiful board member Ish Monroe in 2023 and it resulted in more than 7,000 lbs. of trash being removed from Fort Loudoun Lake!
At the cleanup this year, pro anglers Ish Monroe, Carl Jocumsen, and Robert Gee will join at the cleanup. Register for this cleanup to help make a difference at the headwaters of the Tennessee River, meet celebrity pro anglers, and enjoy gorgeous views of the Fort Loudoun Lake at the same time. We’ll also be joined by our local partners, Ijams Nature Center, who will bring their river cleanup boat to support the effort, as well as Keep Knoxville Beautiful, who always rocks a good cleanup in the Knox County area!
Fun update: Yamaha Rightwaters is providing donuts before the cleanup and lunch from a local food truck to all volunteers who participate in the cleanup!
